A special event designed to showcase the town’s many natural and cultural offerings.
Throughout Winter Weekend in Norfolk, you are invited to listen to Rendezvous with Benny Goodman, a Norfolk Chamber Music Festival concert recorded last summer with clarinetist David Shifrin and the Miró Quartet highlighting the versatility of the clarinet. Link will be available at 12:01 a.m. Saturday.
